How children get a place in Saint-Simon
The neighbourhood school
Boards set boundaries for each school; living inside one guarantees a place there, and moving across one usually means a request.
English schools in Quebec
Eligibility for English schooling comes from the family’s schooling history; without a certificate, a child goes to a French school.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- The year. Schools as listed for 2025-26.
- Boards and systems. Since 2020, the French public network is run by service centres; the English boards kept their elected councils.
- What isn’t here. No province rates its schools by inspection, and enrolment covers one year (Ontario and Alberta only), so there is no trend.
- One school, two buildings. The ministry lists buildings, not schools: a two-building school has two entries here.
- Which schools count. Every school inside Saint-Simon’s outline or within 3 km of it, the rule used across the site.
- The kinds of school. Where a province publishes grades, the card gives them; elementary and secondary follow those grades.
